Dreaming Of...

I've been dreaming of a play kitchen for Sebastian since his birthday last July. I was set on building one after seeing a variety of DIY kitchens on OhDeedoh but I was pregnant and...it didn't happen. He's played with one at the YMCA often enough that I'm sure he'd still be into it this year so the search is on.

I love the look of blonde or honey colored wood with clean lines, pieces that move, and a little built in storage. I'd like it to be neutral enough for Sebastian AND Ruby so I've collected melmac saucers in teal, green, and yellow and have some miniature mixing bowls for them to use.

and have you seen the DIY ones on http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/? search for "play kitchen", ther are some cool und cheap ideas :)my mother has built me an oven from a bedside table - i looooved "cooking" on it!have fun making your ownlove hilka*

my kids love our play kitchen--whichg is actually just a handmade wooden stove from the 50s that I got at a garage sale--seriously my best score ever. Nova toys has great ones, the ones on etsy of course are adorable and Palumba.com are beautiful, too. They're just all really expensive, but, imo, totally worth the investment.

I know you said that you like the look of blonde or honey colored wood, but I saw this play kitchen on Prudent Baby's website and thought it was really cute. http://www.prudentbaby.com/2010/03/worlds-greatest-play-kitchen-revealed.html
